I locked out KFLL frequencies irrelevant to this event as the aircraft taxied. Congrats to the FLL ATC Controllers for showing and voicing their respect as Capt Sully taxied his A321. First, they taxied the aircraft around all traffic to the head of the line. Finally, as he made it short of the departure runway, one of the controllers read a farewell message. After departure the aircraft on freq joined in. Well done!

Just a few minutes out from landing, the fire trucks are getting in position for the water streams from what I'm hearing on ATC. hopefully some of the media are present for the landing. I can't find anything anywhere, even chartlotte news sites. There are helicopters near the airport that are waiting so I'm guessing it's media helicopters, but we'll see. Given how much he's captured the nations attention and respect, I'm surprised the national news networks have just a tiny blurb about his retirement.
